peeling sunshine

I’m inside you
I always was
I always am
I always will
I was then
I am now
I’m the pain in your back
Lump in your throat
Ache in shoulder blades
Bite on your neck
Scars on your chest
Breath in your heart
Quartz in the dark
I’m the thread
That pulls you
Through
I am the point
That stitches
Your seams
Blue diamond
That gleams
– pause –
I am but the earth,
You are my universe,
I’m not me without you,
I’m just a wolf cub who,
mews.
